Knowledge, Pedagogy and Society: International Perspectives on Basil Bernstein's Sociology of Education
by Daniel FrandjiOver the course of the late-twentieth century Basil Bernstein pioneered an original approach to educational phenomena, taking seriously questions regarding the transmission, distribution and transformation of knowledge as no other before had done. Arguing tirelessly for change, more than any other British sociologist it is Bernstein who presents to us education as a social right and not as a privilege. It is this objective today that makes his work so important. Knowledge, Pedagogy and Society seeks to clarify the broad brushstrokes of his theories, developed over the span of more than forty years, by collecting together scholars from every corner of the globe; specialists in education, sociology and epistemology to test and examine Bernstein’s work against the backdrop of their own research. From teaching content and the social, cognitive and linguistic aspects of education, to changes in the political climate in the early twenty-first century, this collection represents an open dialogue with Bernstein’s work using a forward-looking and dynamic approach. Originally published in French with the explicit aim of locating Basil Bernstein’s theories alongside those of Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most important European sociologists, the French editors draw together a collection that offers a diverse background and perspective on Bernstein’s work and thought. Revised to include a new preface, a new introduction and revisited papers, the English edition will be a relevant resource for anyone interested in Bernstein, his reception and importance, as well as individuals working in the sociology of education, theory of education and education policy.
Knowledge, Pedagogy, and Postmulticulturalism

Knowledge, Power and Educational Reform: Applying the Sociology of Basil Bernstein
by John Beck Harry Daniels Madeleine Arnot Rob MooreThis book is made up of a selection of writings from an international team of scholars, highlighting the contribution made to the field of educational policy and educational policy research by Basil Bernstein's work on the sociology of pedagogy. These contributors explore, analyse and engage with contemporary political reforms of education, contemporary pedagogic debates and the changing nature of professional knowledge, relationships and structures. The subjects covered include: particular concepts such as voice research the significance of social class in relation to the language, schooling and home cultures differences between official and pedagogic recontextualising fields formation of different types of identities the construction of the learner formation of teacher identities and use of pedagogic discourses analysis of performance-based educational reforms and its impact on pedagogy.
Knowledge, Power, and Academic Freedom (The Wellek Library Lectures)
by Joan Wallach ScottAcademic freedom rests on a shared belief that the production of knowledge advances the common good. In an era of education budget cuts, wealthy donors intervening in university decisions, and right-wing groups threatening dissenters, scholars cannot expect that those in power will value their work. Can academic freedom survive in this environment—and must we rearticulate what academic freedom is in order to defend it?This book presents a series of essays by the renowned historian Joan Wallach Scott that explore the history and theory of free inquiry and its value today. Scott considers the contradictions in the concept of academic freedom. She examines the relationship between state power and higher education; the differences between the First Amendment right of free speech and the guarantee of academic freedom; and, in response to recent campus controversies, the politics of civility. The book concludes with an interview conducted by Bill Moyers in which Scott discusses the personal experiences that have informed her views. Academic freedom is an aspiration, Scott holds: its implementation always falls short of its promise, but it is essential as an ideal of ethical practice. Knowledge, Power, and Academic Freedom is both a nuanced reflection on the tensions within a cherished concept and a strong defense of the importance of critical scholarship to safeguard democracy against the anti-intellectualism of figures from Joseph McCarthy to Donald Trump.
Knowledge, Power, and Education: The Selected Works of Michael W. Apple
by Michael W. AppleFor more than three decades, Michael W. Apple has sought to uncover and articulate the connections among knowledge, teaching, and power in education. His germinal Ideology and Curriculum was a watershed title in critical education studies, and has remained in print since its publication in 1979. The more than two dozen books and hundreds of papers, articles, and chapters published since have likewise all contributed to a greater understanding of the relationship between and among the economy, political, and cultural power in society on the one hand "and the ways in which education is thought about, organized, and evaluated" on the other. In this collection, Apple brings together 13 of his key writings in one place, providing an overview not just of his own career, but of the larger development of the field. A new introduction re- examines the scope of his work and his earlier arguments, and reflects on what remains to be done for those committed to critical education.
Knowledge, Skills and Competence in the European Labour Market: What’s in a Vocational Qualification?
by Christopher Winch Linda Clarke Michaela BrockmannFor the free movement of labour across the European Union, establishing transparency and comparability of qualifications across member states is vital. This book examines how qualifications, knowledge, skills and competences are understood in different national contexts and trans-nationally and reveals a complex picture of differences and similarities both within and between countries. Against the background of EU policy initiatives, and in particular the European Qualifications Framework, an important focus is on the prospects and difficulties of establishing cross-national recognition of qualifications. Drawing on case studies of particular sectors and occupations in England, France, Germany and the Netherlands, this insightful book, written by leading academics in the field, will be a vital resource for students and researchers involved with vocational education and training, continuing professional development, human resource management and European Union policy.
Knowledge, Values and Educational Policy: A Critical Perspective (Critical Perspectives On Education Ser.)
by Harry Daniels Hugh Lauder Jill PorterKnowledge, Values and Educational Policy focuses on what schools are for and what should be taught in them, how learning is possible across boundaries, and issues of diversity and equity. Policies and practices relating to schools are also considered. Within this volume, internationally renowned contributors address a number of fundamental questions designed to take the reader to the heart of current debates around curriculum, knowledge transfer, equity and social justice, and system reform, such as: What are schools and what are they for? What knowledge should schools teach? How are learners different from each other and how are groups of learners different from one another, in terms of social class, gender, ethnicity, and disability? What influence does educational policy have on improving schools? What influence does research have on our understanding of education and schooling? To encourage reflection, many of the chapters also include questions for debate and a guide to further reading. Read alongside its companion volume, Educational Theories, Cultures and Learning, readers will be encouraged to consider and think about on some of the key issues facing education and educationists today.
Knowledge-Based Services, Internationalization and Regional Development (The Dynamics of Economic Space)
by Peter DanielsThe acquisition and management of information is central to the operation and marketing of many service-providing firms and other organizations.

In this book, an international and interdisciplinary team of leading scholars examines the attributes of knowledge acquisition and diffusion within and across service-providing organizations. Using a variety of case examples, they pay particular attention to the processes of internationalization and the ways in which service-providing organizations affect regional economic development.
Knowledge-building: Educational studies in Legitimation Code Theory (Legitimation Code Theory)
by Susan Hood Karl Maton Suellen ShayEducation and knowledge have never been more important to society, yet research is segmented by approach, methodology or topic. Legitimation Code Theory or ‘LCT’ extends and integrates insights from Pierre Bourdieu and Basil Bernstein to offer a framework for research and practice that overcomes segmentalism. This book shows how LCT can be used to build knowledge about education and society. Comprising original papers by an international and multidisciplinary group of scholars, Knowledge-building offers the first primer in this fast-growing approach. Through case studies of major research projects, Part I provides practical insights into how LCT can be used to build knowledge by: - enabling dialogue between theory and data in qualitative research - bringing together quantitative and qualitative methodologies in mixed-methods research - relating theory and practice in praxis - conducting interdisciplinary studies with systemic functional linguistics Part II offers a series of studies of pressing issues facing knowledge-building in education and beyond, encompassing: - diverse subject areas, including physics, English, cultural studies, music, and design - educational sites: schooling, vocational education, and higher education - practices of research, curriculum, pedagogy and assessment - both education and informal learning contexts, such as museums and masonic lodges Carefully sequenced and interrelated, these chapters form a coherent collection that gives a unique insight into one of the most thought-provoking and innovative ways of building knowledge about knowledge-building in education and society to have emerged this century. This book is essential reading for all serious students and scholars of education, sociology and linguistics.

Known by God: A Biblical Theology of Personal Identity (Biblical Theology for Life)
by Jonathan Lunde Brian S. RosnerWho are you? What defines you? What makes you, you?In the past an individual's identity was more predictable than it is today. Life's big questions were basically settled before you were born: where you'd live, what you'd do, the type of person you'd marry, your basic beliefs, and so on. Today personal identity is a do-it-yourself project. Constructing a stable and satisfying sense of self is hard amidst relationship breakdowns, the pace of modern life, the rise of social media, multiple careers, social mobility, and so on. Ours is a day of identity angst.Known by God is built on the observation that humans are inherently social beings; we know who we are in relation to others and by being known by them. If one of the universal desires of the self is to be known by others, being known by God as his children meets our deepest and lifelong need for recognition and gives us a secure identity. Rosner argues that rather than knowing ourselves, being known by God is the key to personal identity.He explores three biblical angles on the question of personal identity: being made in the image of God, being known by God and being in Christ. The notion of sonship is at the center - God gives us our identity as a parent who knows his child. Being known by him as his child gives our fleeting lives significance, provokes in us needed humility, supplies cheering comfort when things go wrong, and offers clear moral direction for living.X
Known by Name: In the Face of Rejection, God Says I’m Significant (Known by Name)
by Nicole Johnson Karen Lee-Thorp Kasey Van Norman Jada EdwardsThe women in the Bible asked the same three questions we all still ask today: How does everyone else see me? How do I see myself? How does God see me?Hagar’s story, found in Genesis 16, is a story of cultural victimization. She was betrayed, abandoned, and scorned. Her response? She did what most of us would do when deeply hurt by someone we trust–she ran away. She got defensive. She retreated to a place where she felt safe. She felt justified in her anger and hurt. But deep in her core was a woman who longed to be seen and hoped for redemption.This Bible study will take you through Hagar’s story as she learns from hurt and heartache that what is unresolved is not unseen by God. The lack of finality in Hagar’s story teaches us to trust God with the ending–believing he sees us and he knows.This study guide features video notes, group discussion questions, and between-session activities like reflecting on the drama and teachings, studying the character story in Scripture, memory verses, and journaling.Sessions include:Exposing the Lie of ShameRejected to AcceptedTrusting after BetrayalTransformed and SeenDesigned for use with Known By Name: Hagar Video Study (9780310096498), sold separately.
Known by Name: When I Feel Worthless, God Says I’m Enough (Known by Name)
by Nicole Johnson Karen Lee-Thorp Kasey Van Norman Jada EdwardsThe women in the Bible asked the same three questions we all still ask today: How does everyone else see me? How do I see myself? How does God see me?Naomi’s story, found in the book of Ruth, is a story of lost identity. She lost her husband and her sons, which in her culture left her completely without a home or a means to support herself. She was a Hebrew woman in Moabite territory, alone among strangers. She reacted by letting her circumstances define her. But even in her angry, fearful, rather dramatic season of feeling like the victim, God kept showing his faithfulness.This Bible study will take you through Naomi’s journey from comfort and security to despair and bitterness; from hopeless drifting to faithful obedience; and from loss to redemption in one short lifetime. We’ll learn that when we go through trauma, loss, and hardship, it’s normal to feel Just. So. Done. Yet God remains close. He is not done. He can and will redeem even in our darkest circumstances.This study guide features video notes, group discussion questions, and between-session activities like reflecting on the drama and teachings, studying the character story in Scripture, memory verses, and journaling.Sessions include:When Hard Times HitBehind the ScenesBetter than Being FixedFrom Bitter to BlessedDesigned for use with Known By Name: Naomi Video Study (9780310096597), sold separately.

Kognitive Aktivität im Sportunterricht: Eine empirische Untersuchung zu den Denkprozessen von Schüler*innen der Sekundarstufe I beim Lösen von Aufgaben
by Katja SchönfeldAus einer sportdidaktischen Perspektive geht Katja Schönfeld der Frage nach, wie sich kognitive Aktivität von Schülerinnen und Schülern im Sportunterricht charakterisiert. Anknüpfend am Diskurs um kognitive Aktivierung als eines der zentralen Merkmale von Unterrichtsqualität zeigt die Autorin auf, weshalb kognitive Aktivierung auch für den Sportunterricht von Bedeutung ist und welchen Mehrwert die Betrachtung dieses Merkmals aus Sicht der Schülerinnen und Schüler bietet. Dabei beleuchtet sie auch, wie sich kognitive Aktivität von Schülerinnen und Schülern beim Lösen von Aufgaben im Sportunterricht erfassen lässt und präsentiert vier verschiedene Denkmuster (sogenannte Modi der kognitiven Aktivität), welche in der empirischen Untersuchung identifiziert werden konnten.
Kognitive Verarbeitungsprozesse in der Interaktion mit Strömungsexperimenten in einer Ausstellung: Eine empirische Untersuchung mit Besuchenden an außerschulischen Lernorten im Küstenraum
by Annika RoskamDer Küstenraum ist ein dynamisches System, welches sensibel auf Veränderungen reagiert. Aufgrund der hohen Dynamik ist das Wattenmeer 2009 zum UNESCO Weltnaturerbe ernannt worden. Um diese besondere Bedeutung auch in außerschulischen Lernorten zu vermitteln, wird eine Ausstellung zu Strömungsphänomenen konzipiert und erprobt. Dabei werden kognitive Verarbeitungsprozesse von Besuchenden in der Interaktion mit Experimenten zu Strömungsphänomenen untersucht. Im Sinne des Design-based Research werden Weiterentwicklungen und Generalisierungen herausgearbeitet. Die Ergebnisse der empirischen Untersuchung sind in dieser Arbeit dargestellt, insbesondere werden Leitlinien für die Konzeption bzw. Weiterentwicklung von interaktiven Ausstellungen abgeleitet.
Kognitive Vermittlungsstrategien und Möglichkeiten der Simultanerfassung im Kontext Autismus: Ein Gesuch nach pädagogischer Berücksichtigung von Neurodivergenz
by Kim Lena Hurtig-BohnDie Komplexität des Autismus-Spektrums ist unbestritten, spiegelt sich jedoch in den etablierten und gelebten pädagogischen Konzepten selten wider. Die Überbetonung visueller Strukturierungshilfen im pädagogischen Setting wird in diesem Buch in einer Grundlagenforschung mit Mixed-Methods hinterfragt. Darüber hinaus wird ein Schwerpunkt auf das Thema Neurodiversität gelegt. Es wird eine gesellschaftliche Metaebene geschaffen, um die bedeutende Anzahl der Schüler*innen aus dem Autismus-Spektrum mit dem Wunsch nach einem gesellschaftlichen Wandel zu mehr Offenheit für Personen aus dem Neurodiversitätsspektrum in Schule zu verknüpfen. Der Einbezug der gesellschaftlichen Dimension der Neurodiversität lässt die Notwendigkeit erkennen, fundiertes Fachwissen in Bezug auf Autismus vermehrt an pädagogische Fachkräfte vermitteln zu müssen, um den Schüler*innen aus dem Autismus-Spektrum generalisierte Möglichkeiten zu bieten, ihre Potenziale zu entfalten.

KokoCat, Inside and Out
by Nancy Lane Lynda Graham-BarberOne day, KokoCat, a well-loved housecat, sees an open door, a chance to escape her pleasant life, to explore an exciting world outdoors. Once outside, she finds that life is more frightening and less enjoyable than she bargained for. Hungry, lost, and alone, KokoCat takes shelter under a dumpster and dreams of her former life inside. In vibrant images, KokoCat's story shows the reader that keeping a domestic cat indoors is better both for the well being and longevity of the cat as well as for the birds and wild animals on which a cat preys. The book's final page for parents and adults offers important information, provocative questions, and tips to increase young readers' awareness of this important animal health and welfare issue. Lynda Graham-Barber's abiding passions for writing and animals have intermingled for four-decades, as children's book editor, writing teacher, author of thirteen books, and animal rights advocate. The author, who holds an MFA in writing for children from Vermont College, lives in a small stone cottage, which she helped build, situated on 160 wooded acres in the Northeast Kingdom, Vermont, with her artist husband David and their rescued dog Biscuit. Nancy Lane has been an award-winning illustrator for the last twenty years. Her picture books include Call the Horse Lucky and A Home for Dakota (both from The Gryphon Press). She lives in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York with her family and her rescued dog and cats.
